Roles/Permissions

[CGG]

Hi all,
We've switched over our old site to FC5 and are on the threshold to
launching, however, I'm now just taking a moment to understand how the
roles/permissions work, so that I can enlist the assistance of
additional folks within our institution with the ongoing upkeep. Is
there any documentation a/o previous discussions to assist with
assigning roles, defining permissions, identifying how to set 'request
approval' parameters and emails, and so on? Any guidance is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
CGG

In FarCry 5.0 the entire underlying security model was re-written.
However, it effectively works the same way as the old system, with a
whole bunch of extra features (especially options for integrating
FarCry security with other security models).

These docs should be a good place to start understanding the FarCry
security model.

Hope that helps,
